Melbourne is already preparing for the onslaught of TomKat.
The film studio where Katie Holmes is scheduled to film Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is already hunkering into security lockdown, it was reported.
The movie’s producers, Miramax Films, have reportedly confirmed the Docklands film set will spare nothing in the way of security. "Please keep in mind as of now it’s going to be a closed set," said Lawrence Angrisani, Miramax’s senior vice-president of international publicity.
Whether or not Holmes will be accompanied by husband Tom Cruise for her stay – said to be three months – is yet to be confirmed. But the rumours of a Cruise sojourn have gathered steam this week.
A Melbourne tabloid has reported the pair will be installed at the newly refurbished luxury top floor of Crown Towers. The suite, which costs $A27,500 a night and takes up the entire 39th floor, is being refurbished as part of the $50 million refit of the casino complex, which is owned by entertainment mogul James Packer.
Room 3918 has been occupied by some of the world’s greatest high-rollers and not even a visiting US president, Bill Clinton, could dislodge guest George Lu in 2001.
Holmes, it was noted, has not been in Australia since the memorial service for Packer’s father, Kerry, in 2006. The couple attended the wedding of Packer and Erica Baxter in the south of France the following year.
